Bank of America (BAC) earnings 3Q 2023
The post Bank of America (BAC) earnings 3Q 2023 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America, testifies during a Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee hearing, Sept. 22, 2022. Tom Williams | CQ-Roll Call, Inc. | Getty Images Bank of America reported third-quarter earnings before the opening bell Tuesday. Here’s what the company reported compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by LSEG, formerly known as Refinitiv: Earnings per share: 90 cents, vs. expected 82 cents Revenue: $25.32 billion, vs. expected $25.14 billion How did Bank of America’s bonds fare last quarter?

Instead, the company’s stock has been the worst performer among its big-bank peers in 2023. That’s because, under CEO Brian Moynihan, the lender piled into low-yielding, long-dated securities during the pandemic. Those securities lost value as interest rates climbed. That’s made Bank of America more sensitive to the recent surge in the 10-year Treasury yield than its peers — and more similar to some regional banks that are also nursing underwater bonds. Bank of America had more than $100 billion in paper losses on bonds at midyear. The situation has pressured the bank’s net interest income, or NII, which is a key metric that analysts will be watching this quarter. In July, the bank’s CFO, Alistair Borthwick, affirmed previous guidance that NII would be roughly $57 billion for 2023. Bank of America stock has fallen 18% this year through Monday, trailing the 10% gain of rival JPMorgan Chase. Last week, JPMorgan, Wells Fargo and Citigroup each topped expectations for third-quarter profit, helped by better-than-expected credit costs. Morgan Stanley posts results Wednesday.
